The Seabrook Dining Room has offered residents a superb dining experience since its inception. Our lunch menu offers soup, fruit and salad bar and includes six (6) different entrees. Residents order from a different menu each day and always have the option to order ala carte items.
Dinner is a nightly extravaganza with residents having the option to serve themselves at the buffet bar or enjoy table service from the menu. There is a salad/fruit bar, a bar for entrees (always three available – meat, vegetarian and seafood) and side dishes (vegetables and starches) and a dessert bar compliments of our pastry chef. Of course, a glass of wine or beer is available.
Lunch and Dinner are served Monday through Saturday, with our fabulous Seabrook Brunch the only meal on Sunday. Residents are treated each holiday with a special dining experience, complete with table decorations and live music.
The Resident’s Monthly Fee includes one meal each day and residents have the option to have both meals in the dining room by paying the member rate for lunch.
Residents have the option to do “take-out” by placing their order in advance and picking it up before 4:45pm or personally going through the self-serve buffet bar. Meals can be delivered for a small service fee.
